books, I have a job, and I will attempt consistent!!!

Hello friends!

Today was quite a productive Saturday. I put up clothes, gathered dirty laundry and put it in the hamper, stuffed clutter under the bed, and made a corner of my room super spiffy.:) It is now a nice, artsy, reading nook. Woah, I just remembered I have forgotten to update you on what I've been reading!

Books Read:4
My Thirteenth Winter
The Hunger Games
Catching Fire
Mockingjay
The Hunger Games series (by Suzanne Collins) is an intense, numbing, incredible futuristic story. It is fantastic, but can be a bit graphic.
My advice is to buy them or borrow them from a friend.But, make a book cover for it, because some people like to spoil parts of it, and even tell you false information about what will happen; which both angers and annoys me with the passion of a thousand suns.
I am currently reading 3 books right now.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (J.K. Rowling)
Paper Towns (John Green)
&
Lord of the Flies (William Golding)

Sorcerer's Stone is a re-read(10th time), and that causes me to read with not as much intensity as the first time.But still a vital part of the Harry Potter series, my favorite fictional series.
Paper Towns is new to me, but John Green's work is not.I read Looking For Alaska this past fall I believe and I believe I liked it more than Paper Towns, but I'm only about half-way trough.We'll see, but I am enjoying it nevertheless.:)
Lord of the Flies is something I have to read for English, but I can't stop reading!I need to find out what happens.I may be required to read this for class, but I've been interested in reading this since I heard Nathan(Corbin Bleu) mention it on Flight 29 Down.

I have been reading very sparingly to the play last weekend/ rehearsals.:(

OH.MY.GOSH.GUESS.WHAT?

I got a JOB!!!!!!=D
No, I'm still not 16 yet....(March 13th, it's coming up!!!;)
No, I haven't started....
And NO it isn't fast food or retail.

I'm going to pet sit!!!I don't know if I told you, but I've been pet siting  for several years for my neighbors and friends. But my main source of income came from my old next door neighbors. They had an old golden poodle mix named Maverick[who died:(] but got Bandit (adorable black and white dog) and Scamp(carmel and white puppy) soon after Maverick passed away. I pet sat these three dogs for about 5 years, I grew very attached. They moved away last spring.:( 
Bandit(or Bandito as I fondly called him)
:)

And little Scamp, his adopted little brother.

I'm afraid I don't have a digital picture of Maverick, but I will look around for one of him.

Anyways, they moved far far away, so my occasional 10 bucks every few months was gone.It was never about the money for me though, I missed my lovely neighbors and my dogs, that in my mind were partially mine.

My old neighbors(Fred & Jan) who watched me grow up need me to pet sit several cats and their dog for a month (April).
I will have to let the dog out for about 30 minutes, feed all of them, clean up the dog's souvenirs of delicious dog food, clean the litter box, give one of the kitty's eye medicine, and of course give them all attention.  

This will happen twice a day, morning and evening.I will have to get up around 5 in the morning in able to get to my neighbor's new home, take care of things, give the doggie his 30 minutes outside..... Then drive back home and get ready for school.

By the time Fred and Jan leave to visit family for a couple weeks, I will be 16 and hopefully have my license.This job requires so much dedication, but I'm up for it! And I know my dad will help me out if there is something going on and I need him to take care of the pets.

And the pay, (I feel like a greedy person saying this..) is fantastic. I can complete my goal for my beloved Nikon D3100 and have much left over that I will probably put in my savings.

I told my youth director about this opportunity and she said her neighbors are always needing pet sitters, and asked me to make a flyer with my info on it to give to them.That got me to thinking, if I can't land a flexible summer job, I could just start my own pet sitting business.I love animals, I've had pet siting experience since I was 7, have my licence by summer for sure. Eh!?Good idea?

Did you have any small job or allowance when you were little(or my age)? I never had allowance, or got paid for chores, but my parents gave me money if I needed it for school or really wanted something.;)

Wow, I think that's enough of my rambling for tonight.

oh, and lastly.....

365 Shot for today, Day 57!!!
Blossoms=Yay!
Spring=not here yet....:(

I have a odd driving story to share, tomorrow maybe?

Man, I've missed talking with you guys.If you've read this far, you are a trouper, M*A*S*H worthy.:)
Much love and good night/morning/afternoon!=)

The Show 1

Hey, guess what?

I didn't barf!:D

Now, some of you might not know why I might have barfed (even though I didn't), but the play was last night. I didn't get stage fright, which is huge seeing as that's the norm for me, full of nausea, sweaty palms,

*****************************

I am now at church waiting for rehearsal to start.I was nervous and then I got on stage and I was totally fine. I think God really helped me out:)

The first Act went quite well.My amiga Blue Seal and her older sis Kara came.They had fruit punch, (which was meant for the kids).I find this worth noting.=)

Second Act, uhhhhhh

3rd Act hehehehe.

We made some mistakes that were very funny.My microphone went out during the second act and I had to say test test  TEST fore a while and no one could hear me which made the audience laugh

My friends Sydney and Mitch & Connor are reading over my shoulder as I type this blog. It is weird but bearable.

 

This is a firework from here. Sydney chose it! :)

The apple I was eating is now really gross and brown looking.

I'm not hungry any more.Isaac says that's jank that an apple can look that disgusting in 15 minutes.He doesn't like apples regardless though

I promise my own pictures are coming! My camera is a tad screwy, so yeah.

Practice is starting bye!!!

Yeah, I got grounded...:/

I have put this post off for too long.

No I'm not quiting blogging, even thought it may seem that way. I have been grounded from my laptop at home, resulting in no posts in a while. I am currently at my school's library at 7:24 in the morning. I am so sorry I haven't talked with you gals and guys in a while.:(

Things are crazy.You know those four snow days a few weeks ago?Thanks to them, all my teachers have decided to catch up with tests/papers/projects all this week. To make it worse, I have rehearsals all week also.

We had our first dress rehearsal last night.I think we did okay... improvement is needed though.I remembered most of my lines, but need to work on my enthusiasm a bit..

Our first show is Saturday.Scared?YES, VERY. I'm wearing high heels, pantyhose(loathe), a white pleated skirt, this denimy short sleeved blazer, and a microphone thing.It is odd wearing a microphone, but it's better than carring one.

Yesterday was also my friend Sydney's birthday, HAPPY 16th!!!Question; when is your birthday?I really want to get to know you all better.I am speechless that there's 32 of you now.32, that's insane that that(hehe) many people read my words and see my pictures.I'm shocked and yes, I still do a happy dance with every new follower and jump up and down with comments.Several of you I don't know at all, so this is to you; HI!!!!! I'd love to learn more about my readers, who they are, and what they love.

I have many exciting things to tell you, but I must be off, my coffee is awaiting me at the counter....plus I need to find Hailey and discuss party plans;)


This is one of the pictures I'm using in my yearbook spread(practice)
Three beautiful people, I love dearly.Georgie is a doll!:)
